Zend Optimizer is an instrument, that's required to execute files protected with Zend Guard - a well-known application that is used to encode PHP 4, PHP 5, PHP 7 and PHP 8 files with the purpose to protect them from tampering with the code or reverse engineering. Zend Guard is used by numerous companies which develop paid script apps, so when you obtain such an application for your site, you'll probably need Zend Optimizer to be available on the server where you'll host it. If you are a programmer, you may also use Zend Guard to protect your code and ensure that your website visitors or customers will be unable to alter it in any way. Websites which use Zend Optimizer ordinarily perform much better owing to the fact that their PHP code is precompiled, therefore it's already optimized and will be executed much more rapidly.

Zend Optimizer in Shared Hosting

Zend Optimizer is set up on all the servers that are a part of our advanced cloud website hosting platform. No matter which shared hosting service you choose, you can use the tool to guarantee that any kind of script app that requires it will work perfectly in your account. Using a handy software instrument in the Advanced area of the Hepsia Control Panel which comes with all of the website hosting accounts, you'll be able to activate and deactivate various settings with a single button. Zend Optimizer is one of them, so even if this happens to be your very first web hosting account ever, you won't encounter any issues. In the very same section you can also select the PHP version for your account - 4 and multiple versions of 5, thus any time you move to one that you haven't used yet, you can activate Zend Optimizer for it with just a click. Because our platform allows you to work with several PHP releases at the same time, more experienced users can activate the instrument for an individual site with a php.ini file in a specific domain folder as well.

Zend Optimizer in Semi-dedicated Servers

We provide Zend Optimizer with all our semi-dedicated servers. It's present on our innovative cloud platform, so if any script-driven application that you want to use requires it to work, you just need to activate it with a click from your Hepsia Control Panel. You shall find Zend in the PHP Configuration section where you can also switch the PHP release which your website hosting account uses. For every new release which you set, just click on the On button for Zend Optimizer and you will be all set. Hepsia remembers your choice for previously used versions of PHP, which means that you will not need to do that each and every time. If you have more experience, you can take full advantage of the versatility of our cloud platform and use a php.ini file in order to set a different PHP version and enable/disable Zend Optimizer for a particular domain without altering the overall settings for the whole semi-dedicated server account.
